Intel’s best processors have been crashing for months, and despite many attempts, the issue is nowhere near being fixed. In fact, the impact might be far worse than we thought.
Original reports about stability issues with the Core i9-13900K and the Core i9-14900K came from PC gamers, but now, we’re hearing that they’re crashing in servers, too. That can lead to serious damage, with one game dev estimating the instability may cost them up to $100K in lost players.
Intel has a Pretty Big Problem Level1Techs looked into decompression errors, which Oodle had already talked about earlier this year. In total, the YouTuber found 1,584 decompression errors in the databases, spanning a 90-day period. Out of the 1,584 errors, a whopping 1,431 can be attributed to Intel’s 13th and 14th-gen CPUs. Meanwhile, Level1Techs only found four decompression errors related to AMD CPUs.
During the research process, the YouTuber also discovered that gamers weren’t the only ones to suffer from these instability issues. The Core i9-13900K and the Core i9-14900K are also used in data centers for things such as running game servers, and in those settings, they’re often paired with W680 motherboards. Those boards are more focused on stability than pushing performance, which kind of goes against various claims that overclocking is the root cause of the issue.
“Support incidents have been unusually high for that configuration, Recently, we’ve had to update the BIOS, disable the e-cores, or do CPU swaps to get the issues resolved. And we’re not sure the issue is fully resolved, so we are charging a support premium for those systems right now,” said the anonymous data center service provider. “Something isn’t right with the 13900K and the 14900K. We’ve been steering customers toward 7950X systems instead.
